Loch Awe Hotel 6 Day Mountains & Mistletoe
First Day - South
Arrive at the Loch Awe Hotel in time for dinner.
Christmas Eve
Begin Christmas Eve with a trip to Inveraray. Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. Founded in 1745, Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. Journey to Arrochar through the stunning ‘Rest and Be Thankful’ for an included lunch at our Ardgartan Hotel before returning to the Loch Awe Hotel for a complimentary sherry reception, dinner and entertainment.
Christmas Day
Lying in the shadow of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, Fort William is the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ and boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in the Highlands. Fort William lies along the banks of Loch Linnhe and is the main town in Lochaber but is just a short distance from spectacular Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulent history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor – one of Scotland’s outstanding areas of natural wilderness and rugged beauty. After a day of exploring, a traditional Christmas dinner will be served at the hotel followed by live entertainment.
Boxing Day
This boxing day explore the beautiful Royal Burgh of Stirling where for centuries monarchs ruled from its strategic castle and where merchants operated below castle rock. The city has been carefully preserved and the history of Scotland lives on through the architecture and local landmarks.
New Year's Eve
The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the 'Gateway to the Isles' and is the 'Seafood Capital of Scotland'. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea, and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig's Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce - all well worth sampling! The Theme tonight is New Year's Eve and there will be a candlelit dinner followed by a Hogmanay farewell party.
